Re-manifesting Your Reality with Quantum Creation Strategies

"Energy can be neither created nor destroyed" is a basic principal of both quantum and modern physics and is the foundation of our innate inner power.

This workshop gives the participant the chance to redefine their role in co-creating their reality. Cross culturally much of humanity has been lead to believe that we are creatures of "fate" or "predestined" paths.

These ideas are challenged and explored during this program, followed by a meditation designed to support individual projections of quantum manifestation.

Workshop Covers:

The significance of “Reality”

Consciousness

Social/cultural roadblocks to co-creation

The didgeridoo meditations consist of a group manifestation and personal manifestation followed by group sharing and questions and answer time.

In late November of 2005 Joseph and his wife Nicole traveled to Peru to participate in a shamanic retreat that included visiting a vast collection of Peruvian sacred sites as well as having the privilege to work with and learn from a diverse group of traditional Peruvian shaman, priests and healers. Many of the foundational lessons Joseph teaches on self healing and personal growth were learned and experienced first hand during this journey through Peru.

The “Journey with the Chakana (Inca Cross)” workshop invites the individual participant the opportunity to experience and explore their consciousness through the intention of meditating with the three foundational steps of Peruvian shamanism. Joseph will share some of the key personal growth and healing lessons he learned during his journey through Peru in 2005 and their direct relationship to the steps of the Inca Cross.

My Name is Deana Bacon. I am the Owner and Director of Counseling of The North Shore and Yoga Wellness located in Beverly MA. I am a psychotherapist and yoga teacher in private practice for twenty-two years. I have been hosting Joseph Carringer for approximately two years. Until recently his workshops have been private invitation only to patients and students of my practice.

Joseph’s sound healing sessions with myself and my clients has been profound in and some cases life altering. Joseph has had a major impact in opening awareness to my clients healing journey. Didge therapy has helped reduced anxiety in many of my clients. In addition, a greater understanding of how stagnant energy can impact the emotional and physical body. For those people who struggle with mediation, Joseph’s talent, kind, and soothing process during the worksho has helped many of my clients ease into a meditative state.

It feels so good to know I have an entrusted colleague that I can call upon to assist in my clients health and wellness! After every sound healing session, I have offered to my clients, I receive many emails and personal statement of great appreciation for inviting Joseph into my practice.
